Montreux Casino (Casino de Montreux) was built in 1881 and had modifications made to it in 1903. In 1967 the Casino became the venue for the Montreux Jazz Festival, which was the brainchild of music promoter Claude Nobs.
In December 1971, Montreux Casino burned down during a concert by Frank Zappa, after a fan had set the venue on fire with a flare gun, reducing it to ashes. (Wikipedia)
